Bulgarian institutions have once again shown that they are not at all good at dealing with precedents, and that this parliament is full of populists.
This reading of the situation surrounding MECH was made by political scientist Hristo Panchugov in an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio.
What Natalia revealed to Kiselova about the collapse of the MECH parliamentary group serves the populist narrative. With such low trust in the National Assembly, we cannot be surprised by the creeping populism, he believes.
According to him, attempts "through poorly crafted procedural tricks and poorly implemented decisions to hit populists do not bring anything good and are pouring into this sphere".
Obviously, the letter of the procedure has been followed, but the principle has been mistaken. We are obviously talking about a political decision, Panchugov emphasized.
In connection with the possible combination MECH - – In his words, there is a vacuum and these are topics that are obviously left only to these formations.
In the program "Before All" he predicted that there will be no common front between them.
"Even if we see some unity, it will be more of an attempt to serve party interests."
Bulgarian politicians do not set long-term goals, Panchugov commented.
"Bulgarian foreign policy has long had no real presence. A series of ministers were not remembered for anything. Foreign policy is not done in principle – now let's take a side here. The question is that as a society and a state we are clear in which direction to move. If there is a failure, it will be precisely in this area," he pointed out about "Vazrazhdane"'s request to request a vote of no confidence in the cabinet because of its foreign policy.
